People are already starting to get angry with this lock down. Gov Evers of Wisconsin just announced an extension to May 26th and people are mad. They don't understand that what we are doing is working, and so instead of YAY IT'S ALL OVER we need to continue this until we can get this under control.

More unrest is coming and coming soon.

It's totally understandable. People are not used to this. Most people aren't used to not licking all their relatives' assholes at least once a week.

All I want is for the gov't to airdrop me some weed, it's been 5+ weeks since I've smoked and my dreams have become so vivid it's like I'm living an alternate life at night.

Covid-19 exists in the dream world too so it's not like it's an escape. There's also human looking robots that beat regular humans to death.

Unfortunately I no longer live in a state where it's legal, though it very recently became decriminalized. I used to buy from a dealer in a neighboring legal state, but I moved closer to work a few months ago so it's like an hour journey each way. I'd also rather avoid interacting with him at this point since I have no clue how many face to face interactions he's having regularly.

It's basically Y2K 2.0

Every idiot with a red hat is saying "see it's not soo bad" not recognizing all the very hard work and sacrifice that's got us to this point. The whole point of this curve flattening/bending/distancing is to slow the spread so you can cope with the impact. If you do it right, people say that wasn't so bad. The second you don't though, millions of people die.

I don't think I'd jump to call goons separated from reality where you've been straight up ignoring evidence from goons about HCQ since it doesn't fit your worldview yet you still accept the words of Trump, a known expert in medicine.

Yeah and they absolutely will not care. They'll say "See it wasn't so bad this whole time!" They will say that. While completely ignoring the fact that it's not so bad because of everything we did, and are doing.

Basically, if things work out well, they'll freak out and get angry. And if things continue to get worse, they won't care and the covidiots will still want to open the country.

Corona Crew Cuts are the new style. Don't want any nasty rona getting in your filthy hippy hair. I cut my hair like 3 weeks ago and just did it down to a 1/4 an inch, way too short, but I had really long hair so it was way faster to just go as short as I could stand.

It doesn't matter what we want. This virus has our civilization by the balls, it dictates when and how we come out of isolation. There is no scenario where we get to do this on our terms. We can come out of isolation if we want, but it will not go the way people think it will. You're eating up propaganda, don't be willing to die for capitalism.

The spread of the virus is great enough that a lot of innocent people will get sick as well. And remember, at least right now there is no guarantee that our bodies are building anti-bodies to this virus. There is evidence to suggest most people can be re-infected, and there are at least 31+ different strains of COVID-19 out in the wild.

That is incredibly untrue. Old people are consistent spenders and a significant portion of the consumer economy.

It's your third time with the disease since April and this time it's worse, much worse than the last time and that left you breathless for a month. Maybe you got it in line for that soup kitchen, maybe from that time you visited your mother at her house before she was collected. Certainly wasn't work since they shuttered all US operations two months ago, after they couldn't sustain a workforce.

The hospital went bankrupt last month and the borders out of the state have checkpoints and razor wire so there's no where to go, the winter is coming and you think to yourself..

You are more likely to die as a person under 65 by driving to work than by getting COVID-19. There are risks in society. People shouldn't be paralyzed by fear of getting COVID as a young,healthy person. You should however be very concerned with getting it and not isolating and killing immuno-compromised or elderly family and friends.
